Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu then inquired, “Out of all liberated persons, who should be accepted as the greatest?”
Purport
Rāmānanda Rāya replied, “He who has love for Kṛṣṇa has attained the topmost liberation.” In Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam (6.14.5), it is said: muktānām api siddhānāṁ nārāyaṇa-parāyaṇaḥsu-durlabhaḥ praśāntātmā kotiṣv api mahā-mune “O great sage, of the many millions of liberated persons and of the millions who have attained perfection, he who is a devotee of Lord Nārāyaṇa is very, very rare. Indeed, he is the most perfect and peaceful person.”
— A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda
